Yes, you need to reset the airbag light

I thought it would only do that if you reconnected the battery and turn the ignition on whilst the steering wheel / airbag is off.

I’m not sure Mike. Every time I have disconnected the battery and removed the steering wheel I have had to reset the light. Not sure if the order though. ESP light will be on top, although that will turn itself off at some point.

OK I've not tried the steering wheel, but I know if I remove the seats then put them back in before turning the ignition on I don't get any warnings, but if I turn it on with a seat out I get the air bag light.

I didn't get the airbag light on when i removed the airbag. I fitted the rs4 badge into the ttrs wheel which is fitted on mine .I disconnected the battery - ve lead . Keys out the ignition . As Jon j says esp light will come on but reset itself after a few hundred yrds .

I didn’t get any lights on my C6 RS6 when I changed the steering wheel buttons which involved taking the air bag off. I didn’t disconnect the battery either.

I consulted Tim @ The Phirm and he assured me it was safe. I wasn’t totally reckless!!

I changed steering wheel & airbag on Golf IV and just made sure the ignition wasn't turned on and no lights came on. I have VCDS so could have reset if necessary but it wasn't.
